Great Christmas Gifts...You can make these!!!!



You can make these!!! My friend Jo taught me how to do these. They are pretty simple. You can make these for around $5-$7 dollars. They make great gifts. I have also heard of some organizations selling them for fundraisers.

Materials:
Glass Block
Drill
1/2" Glass hole cutter
Wired Ribbon
Christmas lights
Decorative transfer
Hot glue gun and glue

1) Drill a hole in the glass, Make sure you are holding the block  firmly as you drill. Do not press down hard with the drill. This could cause the glass to break. You can also add vegetable oil to avoid friction. After you drill a hole you will want to wash the glass block out and then let dry.

2) Add decoration to the block. You can use the transfer paper or just add the lights. You will press the lights in through the hole one light at a time. Best to use 35-50 light string.

3) You will then add a bow to the top or around the middle. You will want to add some hot glue to make it stay.

4) Celebrate  for making such a cute Christmas gift. :)
